Compressed air applications in the dairy industry

Dairy Machines

Milking robots are becoming commonplace in the dairy industry. Dairy farmers can maximize efficiency and profits by utilizing pneumatically-controlled milking robots which are powered by compressed air.

Pneumatic Conveying

Pneumatic conveying systems are very common on farms, helping transport grains, powders, and other products to storage locations with little effort.

Crop Protection

Ensuring that crops are protected from general bugs and pests becomes easier by mounting air compressors on the backs of vehicles, attaching the proper sprayer attachments, and your application is ready to go. 

Wastewater Treatment

Some farms treat their wastewater on-site by using low pressure blowers to supply air for re-aerating their tanks. The re-aeration process assists aerobic bacteria in producing enzymes that break down waste.

Fermentation

Compressed air supplies oxygen to bacteria during fermentation to produce food ingredients such as citric acid, wine, and yogurt. 

Storing Wind Energy

Though not a common practice, there is cutting-edge work being conducted on different ways in which air compressors can be used as storage devices for excess energy generated by wind turbines. 

Winterizing Irrigation Lines

Air compressors are key in helping to clear irrigation lines of any excess water to prep for the winter months. This helps extend your irrigation lines’ longevity and decreases the amount of money spent on repairs.

Class Zero, means zero oil and zero risk of contamination or of unsafe products. Oil-injected compression, even filtered, cannot guarantee that all oil vapors, aerosols and other contaminants are removed from the air. In the food and beverages industry in particular any risk of oil contamination must be excluded.
